Two people were injured, one seriously, when a car crashed into a house early Friday morning.

A car had been driving down Cross Street and crashed into a home at the corner of Ellis and Prospect Street, Dept. Fire Chief Mark Baker said. The call first came in to the fire department at 3:45 a.m. Baker said the vehicle may have been speeding.

The car’s driver, who was not identified, was taken by ambulance to Brockton Hospital then taken by medical helicopter to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. An update on the man’s condition was not immediately available Friday morning but Baker said he suffered life-threatening injuries to his midsection and lower extremities.

A passenger in the car was taken to Good Samaritan Medical Center. Baker said he was up and walking around at the crash scene.

No one in the house was hurt, Baker said, although the building inspector was called to check the structural integrity of the building.
